Mayor Vincent Gray has the blues
In my opinion, his days were numbered as Mayor of Washington, D.C. the moment he told Michelle Rhee he would not re-new her contract as Chancellor of Schools. It did not say nice things about him from the very beginning of his administration.
Mr. Gray did not care he inherited the crème de la crème of American teachers in his cabinet upon his election in 2010. Mr. Gray did not care Ms. Rhee was an administrator laboriously and with great pain laying golden eggs. Mr. Gray did not care Ms. Rhee could have made him the envy of every mayor in America who had failing school systems but, alas, he was blinded by mediocre and pedestrian ambitions while conducting inarticulate news conferences that have, in two short years of his administration, raised serious concerns regarding his leadership abilities.
Mr. Gray does not know which friends to make, which friends to keep and which friends to let go. As a politician, Mr. Gray does not know what he is doing. Mr. Gray has the blues. Where is that li’l rascal Fenty when you need him?
-Mr. Gray, as a Washtonian and going to public schools here, who was the teacher that rocked your world?

And
The scandals suggest a systemic culture of cronyism and self-dealing in city government that threatens to overshadow the other Washington, which had been making progress remaking its image since the lows, such as when former Mayor Marion Barry was caught smoking crack with a prostitute in a hotel room in 1990 and uttered the infamous words, “Bitch set me up.”
